Song (continued)
“It's a noble farmer the truth I will lay down.”
(continued from previous page)To plough with you Tim Keating is a thing I am not inclined
Since the day she ran in Castle and she only in her prime.
Your mare she is so vicious and mine she is in foal.
I would like to plough with Nolan and the horse from Annaghmore.
Tim Keating swung the ciotach saying I do not know what I will do.
I will send for James Coffee he can drive as good as you.
James Coffee came there and that without a doubt.
If you dont keep your stallion in I cannot let my mare out
There is not a wrong word in this song,
I hear the neighbours say if he does not sell in Athenry he will surely stand Loughrea.
From vetting horses now he never will no more.
Since the day he bought the stallion from young Lyons in Annaghmore.
